Biography

Tessier was one of the first female cartoonists in Europe, and one of four female contributors to the British satirical magazine Judy, edited by her husband Charles Henry Ross (with whom she created Ally Sloper in the 14 August 1867 issue). In addition to the Ally Sloper comic strips, Duval produced numerous spot illustrations, cartoons and full-page comic strips for the magazine during the mid-nineteenth century. In 1884, when the Ally Sloper character was given his own magazine, Duval's comic strips were reprinted without her signature.[5]

Her work also appeared in British penny papers and comics from the 1860s to the 1880s.[6]

Duval was also the author of Queens and Kings and Other Things (1874), a collection of illustrated nonsense verse published under the pseudonym of "Princess Hesse Schwartzbourg".

Duval was also an actress in the English theatre.
